Exactly why I believe the new vehicle costs are so high and over inflated
Tis enough surely ? That’s 34 more horses than the Dmax and that isn’t shy.Auto Trader UK - New and Used Cars For Sale

85k truck with a 201hp 4cylinder engine…. I know it’s not all about power and size… but that’s going to be very sluggish in such a big truck!!
I didn’t get a chance to go back and check it out properly .. will do if I see it again.
Exactly what the grenadier looked like it could be but sadly every one I've seen appears to be driven by folk who are even more green oval snobs that actual LR owners.
They should have developed a single cab really. That should squeeze it under the weight issue of not being able to carry 1t in the back and therefore hit all the VAT exemptions we all want. They do sell a chassis doublecab but its still too heavy for the 1t rule.
Retire and buy a GT3 RSThey should have developed a single cab really. That should squeeze it under the weight issue of not being able to carry 1t in the back and therefore hit all the VAT exemptions we all want. They do sell a chassis doublecab but its still too heavy for the 1t rule.
A single cab with some space for coats behind the seat, no extra doors to stay clear of the new rules, for £30k with all the good bits the Grenadier has going for it - I might be tempted.
But the real problem for all these new trucks is my 2018 Navara was £22k, drives lovely, and is exceptional on fuel - getting 45mpg on my 50 mile commute into London atm. And for all the stop start/ 20mph limits I'm going through I thought that was exceptional!
No idea what I'm going to do in 2029. But the old Defender is still sat on my drive and it might well get resurrected again. Could fully rebuild it for less than £20k and just say no to ULEZ jobs. Get something nice as a car for outside of work - nice 996 Porsche or something. Or maybe I can retire by then

Yup, I agree. I'd be astonished if a Navara is doing that in reality. Measure it properly and do the calculations.
Struggle to get Dmax over 30 if empty and is in teens if lugging a ‘proper’ load
Don’t feel too sad about it. Used to have a 94 Cherokee Jeep 4l auto and that was only about 15mpg without a trailer . Loved that thing but bloody useless compared to the Disco 300 that replaced it
Well it all depends on the tank!Be interesting what the ranger does. It seems to think it's doing 400 miles on a tank at the moment
Yeah, that's apparently what the government/manufacturers are pushing, unfortunately that's only the case when it's idling
What's the size of the tank. My disco does about 350 miles to a tank but when I work it out it's about 18mpg. So a truck doing more like 25 could easily do 400 on similar size tankBe interesting what the ranger does. It seems to think it's doing 400 miles on a tank at the moment
Tank holds the same as the Isuzu.
Mine was just the same, thought it would shoot up when I reset the trip and went to Edinburgh from Hertford and back. Just about broke 30 on the way up, back down to 27.5 by the time I got home.
